When it comes to choosing the right self-tanner, the stakes are high. We're giving awards to the best ones out there, so you don't have to risk looking like an Oompa Loompa again

Best for everyday use: Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer, $8.99 There are people who self-tan for a special occasion like a wedding, and then there are those who self-tan every single day. If they're not careful, the self-tanning addicts can end up with a skin tone that's … well, not exactly human.

To avoid overdoing it, opt for a gradual glow moisturizer like this one. Because it's meant to be used daily, the color is buildable and won't get too dark or too orange. Plus, all of the Jergens Natural Glow products have been reformulated, and the self-tanner smell is gone.

i like the loreal except i always have orange hands after use, the jergens one is great too. lately ive been using fake bake flawless self tanner. love the color it gives but it seems to fade really fast

I'm highly sensitive and allergy-prone. I tried the Jergens last year on my legs and LOVED how it looked, but quickly developed a reaction. It had a strong odor then, so I'm wondering if it's been reformulated enough that I can risk trying it again. Hmmm...
